Instructions for Use These instructions for use are intended for the user. They describe the appliance and its correct and safe use. They were prepared for various types of refrigerators therefore you might find in it some functions that do not apply to your appliance and description of the accesories that your appliance does not include. Mounting Instructions Integrated appliances are equipped with instructions for mounting the appliance into the kitchen unit. The appliance should be mounted by qualified technician and instructions are for his use only. We Care for the Environment • Our products use environmentally friendly packaging, which can be either recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. To this end, individual packaging materials are clearly marked. • These instructions are printed either on recycled paper or chlorine free bleached paper. • When your appliance finally wears out, please try not to burden the environment with Instructions for Use 31 142019 it; call your nearest authorised service agent. (See Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance) Tips for Energy Savings • Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible. This is especially important if you have an upright model. • Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance). • Use higher thermostat settings only when required or recommended. • Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. • Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick. • If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket. • The condenser on the rear wall should be always clean, free of dust or any impurities. • Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher. Important • If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate. • The appliance must be correctly connected to the mains supply. (see: Connecting to the Mains Supply). • Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates, especially not with wet hands, because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces. • Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially not soft drinks, such as mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to blow up. • Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because you can get frostbites. • If the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat. • Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing it (only a qualified technician should repair it), before cleaning and before replacing the light bulb. • Do not defrost the appliance with other electric appliances (as for example with hair dryer) and never scrape the frost layer with sharp objects. Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer. • For the sake of environment protection - be careful not to damage the rear wall of the appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes 32 for example when moving the appliance) or any part of the refrigerating system inside the appliance. • The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and oil, so when the appliance is damaged, handle it with care and dispose it of in compliance with environmental protecting precautions. (See We Care for the Environment). • If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a qualified person in order to avoid hazard. • The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall. Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance • When your appliance finally wears out, dispose it of. If the appliance has a lock, break it, in order to prevent eventual accidents (danger of children get locked inside the appliance). • The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorised service agent or specialised servicing centre. If you don't find one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger of pollution). Instructions for Use 142019 Placing and Installation Choosing the Right Place Place the appliance in dry and regularly ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and is stated on the rating plate of the appliance. Never place the appliance near heat emitting devices (e.g. cooker, radiator, water heater or similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight. The appliance should be positioned at least 3 cm away from the electric or gas cooker and at least 30 cm away from the oil or coal stove. If this is not possible, use an appropriate insulation. Behind the appliance there should be free space at least 200 cm 2 wide and above the appliance the high kitchen units should be at least 5 cm away from the appliance in order to assure adequate ventilation of the condenser unit. Class SN (sub-normal) N (normal) ST (sub-tropical) T (tropical) Ambient temparature from + 10°C to + 32°C from + 16°C to + 32°C from + 18°C to + 38°C from + 18°C to + 43°C Connection to Power Supply Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket outlet with a ground terminal (safety socket). Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The connection to the mains supply and earthing have to be made according to current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage tolerance up to -15 to +10 %. Description of the Appliance Refrigerator (A) Opening the freezer door Refrigerator is used for storing fresh foods for few days. Freezer (B) Freezer is used for freezing fresh foods and for storing already frozen foods. Instructions for Use 33 142019 Shelf (1) (number depends on the model) Shelf can be optionally placed on the guides inside the appliance. It is protected against pulling out. If you want to remove it, slightly lift up the back part and pull it out. Glass shelves (some models only have them) are protected with plastic spacers. Before pulling the shelf out, spacers must be moved towards you. Spacers can be also removed, however, it is better to keep them for any later transport. Quickly perishable food should be stored on the back i.e. the coldest part of the shelves. note the label underneath the thermostat box inside the appliance. Defrost Water Outlet (2) Regularly check the defrost water outlet and the channel, because they should never be clogged (as for example with food rests). If clogged, use a plastic straw and clean it. Fruit and Vegetable Container (3) The container is on the bottom under the glass shelf and is used mainly for storing fruits and vegetables. It provides adequate humidity which has favourable effect on food stored. Bottle rack Door Liner (in some models only) Bottle rack (number depends on model) is intended for storing the bottles. There are two installation positions available (horizontal or lifted in the front) thus enabling the positioning of bottles on the stopper as well. It is protected against pulling out. If you want to pull it out, simply lift its rear part and pull it towards you. Illumination in the Interior of the Refrigerator The door liner consists of various shelves or holders used for storing eggs, cheese, butter and yogurt as well as other smaller packages, tubes, cans etc. The lower shelf is used for storing bottles. The light for illuminating the interior of the appliance is on, when the door is opened. The operation of the light does not depend on the position of the thermostat knob. NOTE: Warning! If the door contains storing shelves, install the rack in such position that the length of the bottles will not hinder the closing of the door. The rack may carry 9 bottles of 0,75 l or more at the maximum (total weight max. 13 kg) – • The appliance can be equipped with various accesories, depending on the model of the appliance. • Various accesories (spice container, tube holder or additional shelves and drawer partitions) can be bought in authorized centres. Operation Control The appliance is controlled with thermostat knob, situated in the right upper part inside the appliance. Turn the knob clockwise from STOP (0) position towards 7 and backwards. Temperature Selection • Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all three compartments of the appliance. At higher settings temperature in the interior of the appliance may even drop below 0°C. When 34 the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend medium setting. • Changes of the ambient temprature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance (choose correct setting of the thermostat knob). • In STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not interrupted (the light is on, when you open the refrigerator door). Instructions for Use 142019 • Temperature in the refrigerator and in freezing compartment depends on the frequency of opening the door as well. Use Storing Fresh Foods Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of the food stored. • Foods to be stored in the refrigerator should be properly packed as to prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminium foil, wax paper, or stored in covered containers or bottles). • Before storing food in the refrigerator, remove the excessive packaging (like yoghurt in multi-package). • Pack systematically and make sure that foodstuffs do not touch each other (various odours may mix). Assure adequate air circulation around packages. • Never store inflammable, volatile or explosive substances. • Beverages with high alcohol percentage shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in vertical position. • Food should not touch the rear wall of the refrigerator! • Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon and orange peel, acid in butter etc. can cause damages when in contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer period of time. • Foods should be cooled down before storing. • Crispy and delicate foods should be stored in the coldest parts of the refrigerator. • Try not to open the door too often. • Set the thermostat to the setting where lower temperatures are reached. Set the thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing of the foods. Use a thermometer and measure the temperature in the individual compartments. Place the thermostat in a glass vessel filled with water. Temperature readings are most reliable few hour after steady state is reached. • Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is a sign that something is wrong with foods or that your refrigerator needs cleaning. Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the refrigerator with a mild solution of water and vinegar. We also recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or to neutralize odors. • If you plan a longer journey, make sure to remove quickly perishable articles of food out of the appliance before you leave.

Therefore we recommend the size of the package not to be too large and to be cooled before loading into the freezer. • The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing capacity). If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods. • The next time you want to freeze fresh foods, repeat the freezing procedure and be careful that packages with fresh foods do not touch frozen packages. • For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to 1 kg) there is no need to change the thermostat setting (see Temperature Selection). Freezing Procedure Storing Frozen Foods • Before it starts freezing, set the thermostat to the position 3-6 for 24 hours. If you have a model with integrated switch for intensive cooling, turn ON the switch. After 24 hours load the appliance with fresh load packages. 24 hours from the time when fresh food was put in the appliance turn the thermostat dial to the operating temperature (see temperature selection). At the above mentioned model it is necessary to turn OFF 36 The switch is ON when the marking (I)or colour marking is visible, and OFF when the marking (0) is visible or colour marking is not visible (depending on model). Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of the appliance or on the shelf. Commercially Frozen Foods The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using consider the manufacturer's instruction. When shopping, be careful and choose only adequately packed foods provided with complete data and stored in freezers Instructions for Use 142019 where the temperature is not higher than -18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered with frost layer. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Be careful that packages don't start to thaw, as the temperature raise reduces the quality of foods.

Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals. how often you open the door. It usually takes 26 hours (depends on which model of refrigerator you have). With smaller refrigerators we recommend you make a stock of ice cubes (store them in a separate plastic box). The easiest way to empty the ice tray is to turn the tray around, pour it with cold water and slightly twist it (bend it). How to make ice cubes Recommended thermostat position for ice making is on the middle setting. Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold water or any other liquid convenient for freezing. Insert the ice tray into the guides or on the cooling plate.Time required for the ice to form, largely depends on ambient temperature, thermostat setting and on Maintenance and Cleaning Automatic Defrosting of the Refrigerator Manual Defrosting of the Frezing Compartment There is no need to defrost the refrigerator, because ice depositing on the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice is depositing on the inner back wall during the compressor operation; later on, when the compressor is not operating ice is defrosting and water drops collect and drain through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor, from where it evaporates. When the frost and ice layer in the frezing compartment is 3-5 mm thick, you should clean the freezer. • Turn the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position, and disconnect the power supply. Empty the compartment and take care that the packages remain frozen. Instructions for Use 37 142019 • Put a suitable vessel under the frezing compartment to collect the defrost water. Leave the door of the compartment open to accelerate defrosting. • Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health. Cleaning the Appliance Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance. Do not use coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface. Be careful to remove any cleanser agent remaining after cleaning. • Clean the exterior with water and detergent. Varnished surfaces are cleaned with soft cloth and an alcohol based cleaning agent (for example glass cleaners). You may also use alcohol (ethanol or isoprophylic alcohol). The application of abrasive and specially aggressive cleaners, such as the stainless steel cleaners, is not appropriate for the cleaning of plastic and coated parts. • Remove the detachable accesories in the interior of the appliance and clean it with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in washing machine. • Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in which you added one or two spoonfuls of vinegar. • Every now and then wipe the condenser on the rear wall. Use soft non-metal brush or vacuum cleaner. • Do not forget to clean also the defrost water receptacle above the refrigerator compressor (do not remove the receptacle). After cleaning, connect the appliance to power supply and reload the packages. Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period, set the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply, take out the foods and defrost and clean the appliance. Leave the door slightly open. Trouble-Shooting Guide During the service, you can come across some troubles that in most cases result from improper handling of the appliance and can easy be eliminated. The Appliance Fails to Operate After connecting to the Mains Supply • Check the supply in the outlet socket and make sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat in operating position). Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating System • the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long; 38 • the door is not properly closed (the door may sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged); • perhaps you have overloaded the appliance with fresh foods; • The reason may be inadequate ventilation of the compressor and condenser (assure adequate air circulation and wipe off the condenser); • Continuous operation button activated (see section Freezing of Food). Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall As long as the defrost water runs to the channel and through the opening to the drain Instructions for Use 142019 pan on the compressor, automatic defrosting of the appliance is assured. In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is increased (3-5 mm), ice should be manually defrosted. Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and leave the door open. Never use electric devices for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp objects. After completed defrosting, turn the knob to desired position and close the refrigerator door. The cause of increased ice formation may be one of the following: − the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if it is contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged); − the door was frequently opened or it was left opened for too long; − the food stored in the refrigerator was warm; − the food or dish is touching the inner back wall. Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or the defrost water drips over the channel, water leaks from the refrigerator. • Clean the clogged opening, for example with a plastic straw. • Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall. Noise Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the refrigerating system with compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is. • During the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard. This is a normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the appliance. • After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the refrigerant flow may be louder, which does not mean that something is wrong with the appliance and it has no influence on the lifetime of the appliance. Gradually the noise is reduced. • Sometimes unusual and stronger noise is heard, which is rather unusual for the appliance. This noise is often a consequence of inadequate placing. − The appliance shall be placed and levelled firmly on solid base. − It should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it. − Check the accesories in the interior of the appliance, they should be placed correctly in their positions; also check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might touch each other and rattle. Bulb Replacement Before replacing the light bulb, disconnect the appliance form the power supply. Press the cover at the rear side (in the arrow 1 direction) and remove the plastic cover (in the arrow 2 direction). Replace the bulb with a new one (E14, max. 15 W). Don't forget: the old bulb does not belong to organic waste. Light bulb is consuming good therefore our in-guarantee service does not relate to it. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO INFLUENCE ON THE OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.
